Re: Redirecting select statement output from a script

Cheers Andy, I had my suspicions.. Looks like it's back to admin schedules running an external script which logs in - other peoples suggestions of macros are no good - you can't schedule their execution. Regards, Matthew Andrew Raibeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager"

Joni - Something like that is clearly a software defect. APAR IC43931 dealt with much the same thing, with Migration. You might want to contact Support to be sure they know about this case. It may incidentally be fixed at a server level higher than what you have, whatever that is. Richard Si

If you write a script to either create the macro and use it every time, or simply have the macro in the directory of dsmadmc then you can get the information you need just as easily. I don't know of a way to script this through TSM but externally you could do it. (I use Perl). It works perfect.
